B(2017·辽宁省部分重点高中第三次联考)When apologizing, chances are that you've uttered the phrase, “I never meant to hurt you.” __6__In a talk, Caroline Myss, a spiritual seeker and researcher, took on the topic of forgiveness and healing. She explained why “I never meant to hurt you” i s never a sufficient apology, no matter who it comes from.“Picture that person coming up to you and saying, ‘I'm sorry I did this. __7__ And can we just call it a day?’” Caroline says. As tempting as it can be to moveon and bury the hatchet (和解), that type of apology won't sit well with the person on the receiving end. “That whole little thing —‘I never meant to hurt you’—that's the thing you can't forgive,” she says. “It goes right to your soul, that sick feeling.”Instead, Caroline says it's important to approach the conversation differently. Ultimately, it's about offering more than an apology. __8__“Let's redo the scene,” Caroline says. “The person comes up to you and says, ‘I need to tell you something. __9__ It was guilt. I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didn't listen. And I now know that my actions redirected the course of your life. This is not an apology. I am confessing (忏悔) my soul to you. __10__ ’” Even saying those words on stages makes Caroline visibly emotional, and she points out that this is how deeply within the soul apologies are supposed to resonate. And that's what heals.A.Here is my apology.B.But it doesn't matter to you.C.I'm asking now for your forgiveness.D.I consciously knew what I was doing.E.But you know I never meant to hurt you.F.It's about sharing a soultosoul confession.G.However, it's not a suitable way to apologize.【解题导语】本文援引了Caroline Myss的话向读者阐明了用“我从没想过要伤害你”来道歉是不够的。
